We are so excited to share that we are officially the new owners of Gene The Pumpkin Man’s farm. We are Steele and Sadie Evans, Gene's great nephew and niece-in-law, the fourth generation to farm this land. Our family has dedicated themselves to and worked this land since 1885, and we are honored to be able to continue the incredibly orange tradition Gene poured his life into.
After much prayer and reflection, we have decided to take on a new name for the business, Evans Acres Family Farm. We chose a new name because we have big plans for the future - to see the farm grow, to welcome animals back to the land, and to restore it as a true family farm once again. While the name on the mailbox may be changing, the name on the barn doors is not. This farm holds so many memories for our family and for the community, and we can’t wait to welcome you all back.
Disappointingly, we will not be able to be open to the public this fall. There is just not enough time to prepare this year, and we don’t want to simply throw something together. Gene would never approve of that, and we won't either. So stay tuned for updates as we prepare for fall of 2026!
From our family to yours: Thank you for your patience, your support, and your prayers as we prepare for this next chapter. We cannot wait to re-open our gates soon and share all that’s ahead with all of you along the way!
